Soap Opera Star Dies At Young Age

Marnie Schulenburg, who will be best remembered for her role on the soap operas As The World Turns And One Life To Live, has passed away at the age of 37. Her representative at Industry Entertainment, Kyle Luker, broke the sad news that Marnie lost her battle with breast cancer. She had been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer two years ago, and had been battling the disease since.

On May 8, Schulenberg celebrated Mother’s Day with a touching Instagram post featuring herself reading to her daughter Coda, now two years old. She captioned the post:

“It wasn’t a guarantee that I was going to be home this Mother’s Day. I got released late Friday night but had to be sent home with an oxygen machine.”

She continued: “It’s not my ideal to be a 38 year old Mom who needs an oxygen tank to survive right now. I want to be strong and beautiful for [Coda]. I want to show her how to move throughout this world with compassion, strength, vivacity, humor and joy like my Mother showed me.”

In addition to her roles in the popular soap operas, Schulenburg also had guest roles on Blue Bloods, Army Wives, Royal Pains, Divorce, and The Good Fight.

Her final role was that of Maggie Caysen on the Showtime drama City On A Hill.

Marnie’s husband, actor Zack Robidas, posted a touching tribute to his late wife:

“Please don’t say Marnie lost her battle to cancer. It’s simply not true. I watched her kick cancer’s ass everyday since diagnosis. She is incredible. We chose to attack her diagnosis with blind optimism. We only talked about the future and continued moving forward. I don’t know if this was right but it’s all we knew how to do.”

Rest in peace, Marnie. You will be missed!
